I don't know about that. Looks like he was going pretty good until he started playing multiple double headers and going long stretches without an off day. That should make any player slump with the schedule they played. Freeman started slumping at the same time and I don't think he's old and...
Why don't the Braves just try to resign Markakis? Looking at his stats he was good until August. That's when they started playing all the makeup games and loosing off days. If they resign him and make sure he doesn't play more than 25 games a month and gets at least 5 off days a month I think...
I was looking to see exactly what Donaldson's injury history is and I found an interesting factoid. "Donaldson was called up to the majors for the first time on April 30, 2010, filling in for injured catcher Kurt Suzuki."
Wasn't Kevin Maitan expected to eventually be the future third baseman? If so why not extend Philips out a year and see how Maitan progresses along next year. If he's playing good and looks on track and Phillips is still playing good extend him out another year and try to hold out till Maitan...
So my thoughts on Santana are based on the FO saying at some point that they had their eye on some pitchers that use to be with the Braves. Also, it looks like the Twins want to dump him and he did pretty good when he was here. I don't think I heard anything bad about him when he was here.

Anyway, I posted in this thread earlier that I have a friend that knows him pretty well. My friend is good friends with his sister who he...
Back when he was with the braves and pitching good, I had a friend that worked at an Atlanta club that Tommy frequented, mostly because his older sister was a waitress at the club. My friend talked with him many times and always told me how good of a guy he was and that he was pretty straight...
For those who don't know cobb, or thing they do, you might want to read this.
If A-Rod is in, Rose is in as far as I'm concerned. A-Rod has a different vice but he was just as bad and just as dishonest about it. No difference to me...
